The ROO Residency
The ROO Residency
In addition to $5,000.00 of funding that comes with the ROO, writers have access to dedicated writing retreats during the year-long residency in both Essen, Germany, and Brooklyn, NY. They will also have unlimited access to Bechdel Project's studios and staff to help her develop their new play, both in collaboration with other artists and in solitude. The ROO (Room of One's Own) Residency takes its name from the seminal 1929 book by Virginia Woolf, which emphasizes the importance of dedicated space for women writers. The ROO Residency, along with the FIFE Fellowship, Interstate Initiative, and Space Grants, comprises Bechdel Project's core development programs.
“At every turn, the Bechdel Project has demonstrated their steadfast belief in the play, the importance of its subject matter, and confidence in me as an artist. As a result, I have achieved my strongest and most relevant work to date. This wouldn’t have been possible without the ROO Residency.”
